After 86 days the clutch of 14 eggs finally started to slit. All 14 hatched.

Here is a photo of the male. The hatchlings by the way turn lighter green with each shed until they look like the adults.

Here is a photo of one of my females that is brown. Her two clutches have been 1/2 brown and 1/2 green. Her first clutch also had one blue baby.

This is not the female that laid the clutch of 14 eggs this summer. That female is green like the male. I will try to get a shot of her later.

Here is one of the hatchlings set up.

Beautiful animals, and congratulations on your success with this species!
I have been eye-balling Philodryas and I think that I will end up picking up a pair of these guys.

“All men lie enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life.”- Herman Melville

Congratulations!!!...Lovely little guys!!

Thanks and I think you will enjoy working/displaying them. I think they are the most intelligent snake I have ever worked with. They are extremely curious and like to see what is going on in the room when I enter. I also have NA Wood turtles and they remind me of them with their curiosity.
